Hi, yes i am afraid that is one of the problems, but its usually to do with eathing the wrong foods. I have been taking Alo Vera from Hollnd an Barret along with a probiotic pill, am feeling so much better.

One bit of advise is keep a food diary of everything you eat, and you usually you can find out what does not agree with you, numerous things can trigger it off and it is not the same for everybody.

i dont get any pains in legs or hips, just a very mild ache in the left of tummy, just make sure you dont get constipated.

Thank you I watch what I eat but anything seen to start it up even if I don't eat the noise my stomach is making stops me from sleeping I just wish I could pin point it but I will keep trying thank you

Yes I also take a probiotic which I find really helpful. It is Ultra Maximum Acidophilus 20 billion from Holland and Barrett. My pharmacist has advised me to take charcoal tablets for wind and they work. I do not get pain in my legs only my stomach and back. Hope this helps

Hi julie i just wish i could stop this twisted feeling in my stomach i am trying every thing i just dont eant to go back on antibiotics i know if i go back to the drs that what he will give me with out even given me a blood test i am totally lost

I have been having a flare up for a few weeks now and lots of pain in tummy, back and thigh. Also terrible wind. This is my first really bad flare up and i was imagining all sorts of things that might be causing it as well. So it was really getting me down. I cant work out what makes it worse in my diet. As i have tried cutting things out. I dont get bleeding just the odd spot when i wipe but i put this down to hemorhoids which have never given me problems for many years until this flare up! It is really getting me down now but after reading that others have the same pains ie thighs and back I will stop my imagination working overtime and try and find out what will work for me to settle things down.

I drink wine and soda and tried having alcohol free in case it was that but it made no difference to me. But after reading previous comments on here I think this horrible disease is different for everyone so just try everything to find out what helps you x

Hi BA21 when i first got the disease didnt no what it was at first because of the pain i stopped eating and drinking ended up in hospital the bed rest will help also i take the anti biotics co amacaclav they help me alot after i finnish the course.I have taken these many times when i need them i ring the doctors to see if the doctor can do me a prescription.Try commplan so you are still getting some form of food.
